The latest NOI Polls for June have revealed that 57% of Nigerians approve of President Jonathan’s performance in governance.
In the South East, that number grows to a whopping 91%.
According to the survey, “Additional findings from the June governance poll revealed that the President maintained an average ranking for his performance on sectors such as the Economy, Education, Health, Agriculture & Food security, Transportation and Foreign Policy & Diplomacy.
“However, he maintained a very poor ranking for his performance on Job Creation, Power and Security. Furthermore, slightly more than half of the respondents’ 52 per cent indicated power supply to their households over the past month was either bad and/or it had gone worse; a seven-point increase from May 2014.
“Ironically, while the South East zone experienced the worst supply of power to households, 61 per cent, the zone remains responsible for the president’s high job approval rating. These are some of the key findings from the Governance Snap Poll conducted in week of June 23, 2014.

“The North-West zone accounts for the largest proportion of respondents who disapprove of the President’s job performance with 42 per cent, 24 percent+18 percent.
